STANDING STONE BIBLE

WEEKLY

October 5, 2026

Carl Kerby with Reasons for Hope has been with us - we've been blessed.  and we have been blessed by his sharing with us.  During Sunday school, he shared about our amazing respirator system and how - even in this system that we take for granted 20,000 times a day - we are the workmanship of our Creator.  Eph 2:10.   During the worship service, we learned about God's Word being the foundation for our faith but, especially, how Genesis is "the bottom strip of the Christian faith." When everything in life is crazy, we must have a point from with which we can start so that we can get back in control.  

Carl spoke again last night on our becoming bold in our faith.  Although everybody believes something, very few can tell you why they believe it.  We should be those who know it, live it, and share it.  We are to be God's preachers.  All of us.  

Carl shared again this morning with the homeschoolers about the best evidence of God from creation.  He will share again tonight and tomorrow night.  Dinner tonight before at 5:30.  Ice cream after tomorrow night.  Don't miss it.    Visit the Creation Days page for more information.  

A Tuesday Zoo trip!  This was added last minute for Creation Days.  Carl Kerby will be at the Omaha Zoo tomorrow morning from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, sharing a biblical worldview as we visit several of the zoo exhibits and look at God’s creation through the lens of Scripture.   Parents must accompany their children. Plan on meeting at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo at 9:00 AM.

If you’re interested or would like more information, please contact Matt Sutton at 907-888-9595.   Please send Matt a text or call if you plan to come.   This is an opportunity as locals to (in Carl's words) "Own the Zoo!"   Imagine being able to share at the zoo about God's glory in creation and in the animal kingdom.   Carl will teach us to do this.  Mainly Carl would love to have leaders come to this.  You need not be a parent to come... or even bring children.  This is an opportunity to learn to share in this environment with others about how this was all planned with purpose by a Creator.    Feel free to share this with any families who may be interested. It should be a great morning of learning, fellowship, and seeing God’s handiwork!
Communion & Pot Trust  this Sunday.  Sunday morning is the monthly time of communion.  Be in preparation for this special time this week.  Join us for lunch as well - bring a dish to share afterwards.  
A World Look Conference.  This Saturday and Sunday, Ashland Bible Church will be hosting Brother Christoph of Gospel Network East-West Services (GNEWS).   We've had Christoph in at SSB several years ago speaking of sharing the gospel with Muslims.  

Brother Christoph was raised a missionary kid in the Middle-East then earned a PhD but left that to serve His Lord.  He resides in Europe and runs a worldwide missionary endeavor.
 
He will speak at Ashland Bible Church on Islam, on God's moving in corners of our world and on God's will for all mankind.
 
Saturday, Oct 10, 8:00-10:30, Brother Christoph will talk about Islam and Shariah Law.  There might be another session from 11:00 to 12:00 on Sat.
 
Sunday, Oct. 11, 9:00, Brother Christoph will tell about the worldwide endeavor he leads to present Jesus to the nations.

Sunday, Oct. 11, 10:10, Brother Christoph will bring the morning sermon.
 
He once believed in Evolution but NOT now and why?  He has a wealth of information about what is happening in Europe.  They may try to squeeze in a couple more sessions - maybe at 4:00 on Sat and maybe at 12:30 Sunday after a light lunch.

There will be no recording of the sessions and no posting of material.   There will be snacks on Saturday and no charges or fees.   You may join for any or all.  
Help us in the pastoral search.    The job opportunity for youth pastor is still on our website here:   https://standingstonebible.church/job-opening
You may forward this link to others; it includes a link at the bottom for potential candidates to apply - they complete a simple form and attach their resume.  

Thank you to all who helped the Yoders and Godbeys get packed up and moved this last Saturday.

A Missions "Mini" - On October 18th (Sunday), Andy Shinabery will be here from East-West along with Nixon.  Nixon is from Columbia.  They will share that morning about the gospel reaching folks in this South American country.  We will get to hear from them Sunday morning and evening.  

Men's Bonfire & Campout - Our Friday evening, October 23rd, the men will have a bonfire event (and possible campout) over on the Nelson compound near Ashland.  More details will come but plan on bringing the men in your life (older and younger).  

Anti-Fraud Seminar - Ken C will be presenting info and guidance for all to be aware of the invasive dangers of fraud in our technological world.  Senior citizens have been especially hit by these schemes.   He will give guidance to be aware of what is out there as well as safeguards to have in place to protect yourself (and other loved ones).   You may also invite outside family and friends.  This will be on Saturday, November 7th at SSBC.  

Did You Know?

We call our small groups Life Groups because they are small groups dealing with life.

A typical Life Group (LG) gathering meets in a home with an opening time for sharing and prayer.  Study in God's Word most often follows, and then fellowship.  Typically our LG's meet twice a month.  

There are a number running and we are always desiring new ones.  You can find the list under
